Asset Centric Project Management®
Asset Centric Project Management (ACPM) ensures a smooth, data-driven handover process that prioritizes assets and maximizes efficiency and long-term value.
- Capture information during design and construction, with all associated documents, media and workflows intelligently linked to the asset.
- Eliminate delays during handover by automatically collecting data throughout the project and making it instantly available to operations.
- Integrate asset data across different systems, as asset data is tagged and synchronized across key platforms, ensuring interoperability and accessibility.
Flexible Platform Security
A wave of state and local government legislation has begun to incorporate GovRAMP compliance and other cybersecurity framework requirements. Kahua is proactively taking steps to keep customers competitive and secure.
- GovRAMP certification ensures data security for public-sector cloud services — and is increasingly required to bid on government contracts.
- SOC 2 certification validates the security, availability and confidentiality of customer data.
- Ready to adapt to state-level cybersecurity legislation like Mississippi’s Statewide Data Exchange Act (Senate Bill 2267), Indiana Senate Bill 0472, New Jersey Senate Bill 3835, Arizona House Bill 2736, and many more to come.
In Kahua, we saw some key differentiators, most importantly, the ability to easily build custom applications that conform to our business processes rather than us tailoring our business processes to the system.
